Late Night Blog

Wondering why this post is so late? well, its because today was a good day and I felt like sharing a little with you--> It started with Disney On Ice with Nathalie(which was amazing!), then dinner with my family(at Texas Longhorns Restaurant),

and to finish the day, we watched the premiere of Eurovision! The girl who sang the famous I'm a Big Big Girl in a Big Big World was in the contest(I thought that was neat). Pretty much right after that I went straight to packing...and yes, tonight was the first time I actually started packing, and now it's actually being the same day as I move. Next time I'll be a better planner;) I really hope so at least:P

I'm thinking that Sweden wants to be American. Why you may ask? Well, it turns out Forever 21 is going to open a store here in Sweden and I went to the store the other day(yesterday) and saw Peanut M&M's w/ a big sign saying new candy!!

Next time I post anything I should be in my new house...wish me luck:)

Snow in Febuary?

It kind of feels like alot happened yesterday...even though I don't really think it did. I had school, Swedish Languge History(thats 1 class) and Photography. I did my first ever copies! SO cool!! I couldn't stop thinking of the movies where they have the dark rooms. I looked out the window to see this this morning. AMAZING!(the picture on the left).The question is why when everybody is ready for sun/heat..then comes all the snow? When I got home I noticed that Ulla and Calle were in the process of making a snowman. So I went straight to helping;) It was a very long time ago I madea a real snowman(i've done an iceman)..>>

Last night was a simple night with popcorn and a movie, more specificly The Happening! scary, and not so fun when you ride your bike home alone... Funny story happened before we started the movie, me and two others walked to the store, and on the way back, we notice snowballs coming from behind a vehicle straight at us...making it a challenge, i think. So we started fighting back, but they were definitely prepared. It felt like four would come all at once. It was officially my first snowball war:P

My new jacket is amazing! I didn't know it was possible to be that warm, when its so cold outside:)

My religion class is officially my new favorite class, well other than photography:P But anyways, Wednesday morning we started the day off with religion and saw a video about the Dalai Lama. Speechless... I feel like I dont want to ever stop talking about it! The thing that really caught me was his love for everyone and everthing and his sense of positivity. I Love Him!(just in that hes so amazing)

Other than that fun fact of the day, I bought a jacket!! And its warm to! suprised? It took a while but I actually did it:)

I'm dedicating this to my father...

A dream machine for my dad...I'm just guessing;)

Jag vill bli Frisk!...please...

Haha..funny story...i actually started writing this post in swedish:P

Back to what I was planning on saying. I woke up this morning thinking, I am going to school today. Which I ended up doing, when i realized after some of Lovisa's wise words, that going home was pretty much the right plan after I had just gotten to school. I passed out by the time I got home and slept 2 hours! I really am tired of this("this being sick")!!!

I took the bus today, thank goodness. Its still freezing outside, but it doesn't look like it at all...its just cold:( Anyways...I took a random picture of the top of building."nothing". I think I might have looked a little wierd? Maybe?

Todays Song:

Chester French- She Loves Everybody

Something fast before i get ready for golf practice the sun is still shining and its already 16.30. You can't make this day any better, well maybe. It would be nice if I was 100% healthy again. Even 75% would be nice;)

Thats the color of the sky(if you were curious)---->

Sista Söndags Middag

...meaning *the last sunday dinner*

What I mean by this is that by next Sunday I will be having dinner the my new family. The lovely Gahms. This doesn't mean I'm never going to have another dinner on a sunday with my current family, just means that its my last one while living in the same house with them. SO SAD:(

Did I mention that I did my own laundry today! Am I aloud to be proud of myself? Well my rooms clean now and my photography class is tomorrow morning..dark & early;) I should probably start packing now, but I think I'll do the cool thing and wait till the night before.(JK) I'm definitely not going to do that this time. Ann's changing! FO SHO! Peace out:)

Sooo Saturday...

Yesterday was a Saturday, also the day I planned to feel better and do things. So I did. Not exactly the mood I was hoping for, but I did everything I set out to do;) I got the dress, now it will only take 3 months to get. When I left the store I was so happy to leave the store and get air. Oh, and definitely discovered it was a sinus infection. Fun..I know... After I went straight to Ullas to fika(im beginning to seriously love that word). I'm pretty sure I had the greatest Semlor of my life yesterday. SO GOOD. Thats a Semla.

That night I was at the top of game and set out to my friends house to hang out before they moved later into town. I made it there without fainting, so I thought then I could make it at least a little while. Home early was the right choice that night;)

I look like a party pooper, but i wasn't...I promise!...(at least I hope not:P)

I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick!!

The Good Times Before I got Sick...I woke up Wednesday morning sick...again. I really don't enjoy being sick at all! There are classes that I'm actually taking this semester that I look forward to taking. Today I even tried to go to my new photography class but it felt as if I just got worse:( Thursday I was planning to buy my Ball dress, but it didn't seem to agree with my body...not so cool! So tomorrow, its going to happen. It has to happen. Did I mention the day before I got sick got my first real membership to a gym;) Oh yah, welcome the new and healthier Ann! Well, I guess I'll start after I'm done being sick...

Love this Song

A Swedish Prom

Heres a video I found, a little taste, of what will be happening at the Swedish version of Prom:)

Enjoy...

Thats what i call a well spent weekend...

This weekend couldn't have been more amazing! Got to go up to Stockholm for one night with great friends to see Chris Brown. And we got home in time to sleep in before the second bal training..SO much fun..I can't really seem to get over it:P Last night I had a great dinner with two great families. My current family were so great as to invite my new to be family. I move in just 13 days from today. Its kind of crazy! Today I had school again. Suprising, I know;) I started with my photography class..I couldn't have started a Monday morning better, other than maybe sleeping a little longer. Did I mention that I set off riding my bike(first time since just a couple of weeks ago, and the time before that was around the first week of December) at 7:15 a.m.. Just driving is difficult, but than having to actually work to get to school in the morning definitely wakes you up. I had biology again this morning(Love It). We're actually learning stuff that I know. Right now its a little of what I learned Junior year in Anatomy. Oh, and then theres the dress... I set out to the store after school today to buy a dress, when it didn't really turn out as planned. It turns out that there are a couple more pretty dresses out there, making my mind more messed up(haha..alot of m's). So I just have to decide no later than Monday...no pressure at all. And then to top off the day, I ended it with a great hockey night Linköping vs. Djurgården(2-1)..Linköping WON!!

My Day Off...

So today was a day to relax and not have to stress about the next class to come, instead it was a day to stress about the Ball Dress...the thing I really want to do before the Chris Brown concert. It was just great:)

I got to meet Jennifer to go eat lunch and just catch up on everything. And most importantly I would think would be that she helped me with looking for a dress, I would think;)

Thank You Jennifer!!

Its definitely not the same as looking for a dress in Texas, at least that I know of. Here I actually have to decide latest next week, because it takes 3 to 3 1/2 months(even 4 in some cases), so that I can order it on time. It's just awesome isn't it.

*Here's a dress that I very much liked(it won't be white).

Hehe..this picture makes me kind of look awkward I must say:P

The Choice Is Made...Officially

I have seen the Inauguration of President of Barack Obama:)

At 12 p.m. on January 20, 2009 in Washington D.C. Barack Obama was officially made President!!!

CuPcAkEs or MuFfInS?

I got to sleep in a little while this morning..till till 9 a.m., very najs:) but finished school a little later than would have liked, at 4:30ish..we usually finish at 5, but they let us out a little earlier. got a amazing swedish cupcakes today(they call them muffins here). Well, I have been stressed out about alot of things lately, and one of them was the hat you have to where when you graduate here in Sweden, but thank goodness the paper went up today saying that the fitting(yup..a fitting) will be next Wednesday ..FINALLY! Tomorrow should be really exciting with a six hour break. Meaning 6 hours from the end of first period two the beginning of the last period. Exciting i know;)

Its really cold Here!!

I keep thinking last month or last week was cold, than today and tomorrow comes and its like nothing compared to it! I'm freezing! It's a wierd kind of enjoyable though:) I get to live in place in the world where snow exists...Snow is a non existable thing in Texas, ice is but not snow.

Yesterday was a recharge and a good relaxful night spent with friends and the wonderful Björn Gustafsson:) This morning was the first ball training. I officially cant wait till the next practice. It was way to much fun. Right when I got home, my family was out the door going to there summer house to clean up a little, so I went with them. SOO PRETTY!!--->>>

Friday Night*

Friday I had my second ever photography class, was spent mostly descussing the class guidelines and some fun facts about the camera. Stuff I never knew about till then. And well i kind of rode my bike to school..really bad idea, on the way home i barely got 100 meters before i couldn't feel my legs..so i ended up taking the bus home..a very smart idea i must say;) Friday night i went to a new movie called The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons, definitely different, but suprisingly really good!
